Sun and Moon Are Wrong: Traveling Through Time from Under One Person

Chapter 328 I would rather be your mentor

Taoist Duobao was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Meng Ning to be so sensible.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Why is this boy so flattering? Is there something fishy going on?"

Seeing that Taoist Duobao was hesitant, Meng Ning quickly put on a smile and spoke in a more humble tone.

“Senior, I know that I have decent talent, but I have always been suffering from the lack of guidance. This is why I am stuck in the realm of minor supernatural powers and have been unable to break through. I am very lucky to meet you today.

I am willing to become your disciple and serve you day and night, and I only ask for your guidance."

When Taoist Duobao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

The laughter was loud and resonant, and it seemed as if even the air was shaking.

He laughed so hard that he fell backwards, as if he had never been so happy before.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Taoist Duobao laughed and shook his head.

"I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've met a young man as sensible as you. Good, very good!"

His laughter gradually stopped, and his gaze fell on Meng Ning again, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Since you are so sincere, I will accept you as my disciple. However, you must think it through.

My name is Duobao, and I am one of the three great seekers of the Dharma in Baotian Temple. Once you become my disciple, there is no turning back. "

Meng Ning kowtowed immediately, his tone firm: "Disciple Meng Ning, I am willing to follow you, Senior, and I will never have second thoughts!"

Taoist Duobao nodded with satisfaction, reached out to take the Eight Sufferings Buddhist beads, looked at them carefully, and then put them into his sleeve.

He patted Meng Ning on the shoulder, his tone meaningful.

"Get up, from today on, you will be my disciple, Taoist Duobao.

However, I do not like stupid people. If you have any doubts, don’t blame me for being cruel and ruthless.”

Meng Ning stood up, still with a respectful smile on his face: "Master, rest assured, I will do my best and will never slack off."

Taoist Duobao nodded, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Okay, since you are already my disciple, I will give you the first task."

After he finished speaking, he glanced coldly at Yun Xiaowei and the Blue Bird Sect Leader beside him, and his tone suddenly turned cold, "Kill them."

Meng Ning's heart was shocked, and his gaze lingered on Yun Xiaowei and the Blue Bird Sect Leader for a moment, with a hint of struggle in his eyes.

Yun Xiaowei's face was pale, her eyes full of disbelief, while the head of the Blue Bird Sect clenched his fists with a complicated expression.

"Master, they..."

Meng Ning spoke hesitantly, his voice trembling.

Taoist Duobao snorted coldly, with an unquestionable sense of oppression in his tone.

"What? You don't dare? Or do you not really want to be my disciple? If you don't kill them, I will kill you!"

Meng Ning clenched his fists in his sleeves, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

He lowered his head and was silent for a moment. Finally, he raised his head and said firmly: "Master, I...can't do it."

A cold light flashed in Duobao Taoist's eyes, and he raised his hand and slapped Meng Ning. The palm wind was fierce and carried a destructive force, heading straight for Meng Ning's face.

However, just as the palm wind was about to hit Meng Ning, Duobao Taoist suddenly withdrew his hand, and the palm wind dissipated into nothingness.

Meng Ning said to himself, "As expected," but pretended to be frightened on his face, with shock and confusion in his eyes.

Taoist Duobao laughed loudly, with a hint of approval in his laughter.

"Okay, okay! Boy, if you really kill them, I will kill you today!

But you chose not to do it, which means you still have some friendship.

You are a cold-blooded beast. Even I would not dare to accept you as my apprentice!"

After he finished speaking, he reached out and helped Meng Ning up, his tone softened a bit: "Get up, I was just testing you just now."

Meng Ning stood up, still with a bit of fear on his face, and whispered, "Thank you, Master, for showing mercy."

Taoist Duobao waved his hand, then took out two crystal clear elixirs from his sleeve and threw them casually. The elixirs turned into two streams of light and sank into the bodies of Yun Xiaowei and the head of the Qingniao Sect.

The injuries of the two men recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their breathing gradually stabilized.

"Meng Ning, since you are my disciple, you have had a friendship with these two people. Now I am curing them for your sake."

Taoist Duobao spoke in a calm tone, as if the murderous intent just now had never existed.

He turned to look at Yun Xiaowei and the Blue Bird Sect Leader with a cold gaze: "You guys go.

Remember, if you are weak, don't dream of fighting against heaven and earth.

The rules of this world were never prepared for people like you."

Yun Xiaowei bit her lip, her eyes full of reluctance and anger, but she did not speak in the end. She just looked at Meng Ning deeply, then supported the head of the Blue Bird Sect and turned to leave.

Meng Ning watched them leave, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that the friendship between him and them might be severed from then on.

But he had no choice, only this way could he let them leave safely.

Taoist Duobao patted Meng Ning on the shoulder, his tone meaningful.

"Meng Ning, your performance today makes me very satisfied.

However, you must remember that on the path of cultivation, only the ruthless can go further.

Friendship is sometimes the biggest burden. "

Meng Ning lowered his head and responded respectfully: "Disciple understands, thank you for your teachings, Master."

Taoist Duobao nodded, turned around and walked away.

"Let's go, follow me back to Baotian Temple. From today on, you will be my disciple, Duobao Taoist."

Meng Ning bowed his head and said respectfully, "Master, I, your disciple Meng Ning, have a favor to ask of you.

Although I am fortunate enough to become the master's disciple, it is a great honor, but after all, I have practiced elsewhere, and the friendship with my former master and fellow disciples still exists.

Now that I have changed my sect, I feel like I have failed. I want to make a break with the past so that I can serve my master with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Duobao looked at Meng Ning with interest, a playful smile on his face.

He did not agree immediately, but paced slowly, his eyes sharp as if he wanted to see through Meng Ning's thoughts.

"Oh? To end it? How do you want to end it?"

Meng Ning felt the scrutiny in Taoist Duobao's eyes, and his heart trembled slightly, but he still remained humble and respectful on his face.

"I would like to ask Master for permission to return to my former master's place to say goodbye to my former fellow disciples.

First, to preserve the past friendship;

Secondly, it also allows me to completely put the past behind me, and from now on I will follow Master wholeheartedly without any second thoughts."

Taoist Duobao stopped and fixed his eyes on Meng Ning, with a smile on his face.

"You are a man of great loyalty and righteousness. Well, go ahead. But don't keep me waiting too long. I will be waiting for you in the main hall of Hoten-in."

After saying this, Taoist Duobao left with his hands behind his back.

Meng Ning respectfully saw Taoist Duobao off. He stood up only after he was sure that he had gone far away. The respectful and humble look on his face instantly faded away, replaced by a trace of solemnity.

He didn't dare to delay and set off immediately, rushing towards the mass grave.

Stepping into the familiar mass grave again, Meng Ning felt mixed emotions.

Just like last time, he first saw Haishan and Haoguang carrying coffins on their heads.

Then he followed the two of them to the depths of the mass grave and rescued Master Ma Chao and others.

"Meng Ning? Great, you're here to save me!"

Ma Chao spoke first, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

However, Meng Ning looked around and lowered his voice.

"Master, fellow disciples, this is an urgent matter, so please make it short.

I am here to tell you to leave here immediately! The sooner the better! "

"Leaving? Where to? What happened?"

Hao Guang asked hurriedly, his face full of confusion.

Meng Ning looked solemn and spoke in a hurried tone.

"No time to elaborate! Anyway, Yangzhou City will surely be hit by a catastrophe in a dozen days!

By then, the city will be destroyed, people will die, and all lives will be destroyed!

If you don't want to die in vain, leave Yangzhou City immediately, the farther the better!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao and others looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Great calamity? Meng Ning, what are you talking about? How could there be a great calamity in Yangzhou City?"

Meng Ning sighed, knowing that time was running out and he couldn't explain any further.

I can’t go into more details! That’s all I have to say! Remember, saving your life is the most important thing! Go quickly! "

After saying this, Meng Ning did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.

"Meng Ning!"

Ma Chao suddenly called him, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Meng Ning, what happened? Do you... do you know something?"

Meng Ning paused, turned around and looked at Ma Chao with a complicated and unreadable look in his eyes.

"Master, there are some things that cannot be told now. You just need to remember my words and leave Yangzhou City as soon as possible.

When this matter is settled, maybe we will meet again someday."

After saying that, Meng Ning rushed out of the deep pit without looking back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
